| Is IQ a predictor of personality traits, such as empathy or antisocial behavior? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:54 PM PDT Fairly simple question with, I'm sure, a fairly complicated answer. Is the measurable intelligence of a person in any way related to their likelihood of being a functionally integrated, relatable member of society? Are those with high IQs more likely to be sociopaths, or have higher emotional intelligence? Are those with low IQs more likely to be aggressive and antisocial, or are they more likely to be empathetic? [link] [comments]  |
| Would it be possible for a star to have planets that orbited it both horizontally and vertically? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 02:02 PM PDT Could that happen? If not could it be possible for a planet to be orbiting the star on a more diagonal plane compared to the rest of the planets? Or do orbiting bodies always more or less sync up how they orbit the host star? [link] [comments]  |
| How do mirrors reflect light from a quantum perspective? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 02:04 PM PDT In particular, if a photon hits a flat mirror, it is reflected at the same angle, correct? If photons are absorbed then re emitted by the mirror, how is the angle preserved? Also, is it reflected by the surface only or also by atoms deeper inside? [link] [comments]  |
| Do particles from the solar wind cause any outward velocity pressure on the planets in their orbits? Posted: 25 Sep 2016 06:06 AM PDT In other words, if the solar wind were to suddenly cease, would planetary orbits gradually decay due to not being bombarded and "pushed outwards" by these particles?

| How do you calculate kinetic energy in outer space? Posted: 25 Sep 2016 12:31 AM PDT If ke = 0.5 mv2 (squared) what is v relative too? Furthermore, a given rocket rocket has a fixed delta-v, and it's total energy is fixed so this implies that kinetic energy would be linear. Can someone enlighten me. P.s I have a level physics and degree level maths if that helps. [link] [comments]  |
| Why this water stream seems frozen? Posted: 25 Sep 2016 12:11 AM PDT https://gfycat.com/DeepCheapKronosaurus Is it because of some strange hydrodynamic or is it a similar phenomenon to car wheels in videos? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it possible to design a lens that has no spherical aberration? Posted: 25 Sep 2016 04:55 AM PDT A parabolic mirror can reflect all incoming rays parallel to the optical axis to a single focus. Is there an analogous geometry for a lens that can do the same, at least for a single wavelength of light, so that spherical aberration is not a concern? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any true scientific evidence for the simulation hypothesis? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 11:01 PM PDT It's becoming fairly common to see articles claiming certain chances that the reality we live in is not a "base" reality. Elon musk claims it's one in a billion that this isn't a simulation. Bank of America says it's 50%. I've been unable to find true science behind these claims. They seem to originate from anecdotal evidence, such as looking at Moore's and saying it will eventually be impossible to tell simulation from reality. What, if any, actual evidence or tests have been done? The Wikipedia page goes into a little bit about testing by trying to prove that the universe is a finite lattice, but how could this actually be done? And if even points out that it wouldn't even be proof of a simulated reality. One additional thought I've had is about the Moore's law idea. Technology as we know is made of finite values, binary is 0 or 1, Trinary is 0, 1, or 2, etc. But there really isn't any room for probabilistic outcomes. Quantum mechanics as we know it is based on probability. My thought here is that our current technology couldn't even be the predecessor to something that could be a new universe. That coupled with the fact that Moore's law is an observation and not a rule, seems to provide an anecdotal argument to the anecdotal evidence that I've seen used. Am I missing something here?

| Posted: 24 Sep 2016 02:26 PM PDT Car and handheld radios are capable of detecting low wavelength electromagnetic frequencies using only a wire antenna. Why is it that we cannot detect frequencies of visible/other light in this way? Would it simply require a shorter length of wire than would be practical? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:01 PM PDT I'm so curious about where the actual rubber meets the road when it comes to instructions I send to my CPU. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Sep 2016 06:30 PM PDT For instance, if I were to measure the system a second time, would there be a 100% chance that the system is in the same configuration observed upon the initial measurement/collapse? Or does the wave function return to a superposition of states and collapse again every time the system is measured? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is the international date line not a straight line? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 03:56 PM PDT |
| Can gravity be so strong that it forces water to become ice? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 02:08 PM PDT |
| Are there plans to search for Life on Europa? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 11:07 AM PDT |
| Can Brownian motion be considered an application of chaos theory ? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 10:42 AM PDT Chaos theory applies to systems highly sensitive to initial conditions. In the (highly unlikely) situation where we know everything about every particle (for exemple, in the case of a computer simulation), can Brownian motion, a typical stochastic process, be considered an application of chaos theory ?

| Does acceleration affect density? Posted: 24 Sep 2016 01:44 PM PDT Ladder Paradox Shutting the garage door, is there a solution for this. For this to be possible the volume of the ladder should decrease because of slowing down. If this is the case is it true for all accelerations? For example: Is this true? [link] [comments]  |
